LOS ANGELES >> The A&E channel says "Duck Dynasty" patriarch Phil Robertson is off the show indefinitely after condemning gays as sinners in a magazine interview.
In a statement today, A&E said it was extremely disappointed to read Robertson's comments in GQ magazine.
His beliefs are personal and don't reflect the views of A&E or the show itself, the channel said.
Robertson has been placed on an indefinite hiatus from filming the hit reality show, which follows a colorful Louisiana family that manufactures duck calls. "Duck Dynasty" has set cable ratings records for a non-fiction series.
In the interview in the January issue of GQ, Robertson put gays into the company of others who are sinners, including adulterers and swindlers.

But Bill Maher is ok and it took Bashir a month to get fired and will be working soon as well as Baldwin. How about taking MSNBC off the air? He expressed his belief AMD said nothing hateful. Fuck the left and ALL that they stand for.
-
He said nothing crazy imho
-
These guys made a fortune making duck calls for hunting, wearing camo and toting bird guns 24/7 and THEY PRAY TO JESUS AT THE END OF EVERY SHOW.
They are not some new age Christian cult accepting of homosexuality, why is anyone surprised?
It's a non-story. Freedom of speech condemned by Left just like music was by the PRMC in the 80s.
There will be a huge backlash of common sense soon...I'm not into religion btw, don't care either way.
You can look at these folks and already know this about them just the same as knowing your female bartender with dockers, a lip ring and a crew cut munches rugs. Geesh.
-
This will hurt A&E one hell of alot more than it will Phil Robertson. If this cast walks off they will lose the biggest cable show in the history of cable. Shows just how dumb the left really is.
-
I believe 3 in 100 people are gay.
I don't understand A&E's decision?
???
-
So much for freedom of speech in thier great nation.
Can't people get a life?
Who is x to say what y can say? Thats like bossing people.
Crazzy
-
I'm indifferent to gays but how dare he not toe the liberal line!!!
Oh well, like someone said, it will hurt A&E more than it hurts him. He's still a multi-millionaire.
-
He should have suggested that someone crap in palin's mouth and urinate on her eyes.
No action would have been taken against him and he would have been applauded behind closed doors.
-
FUCK A&E and may those fuckers all burn in hell.
-
Homosexuality is a vile sick act. Very sick minded people. And they want to pervert children with the filth from their evil sick souls.

This is already starting to backfire on AE! people are not supporting the gay drones! They are supporting The DD family. Obviously this was a set up. They asked him this question to try and character assassinate the show. Because I can tell you right now they do not like having a true American Christian family being seen in a good light on TV. They want you to hate Christians! Your not supposed to like them!

Careful.
The idiots here will claim that you are not tolerant, ignorant and don't have a backbone.
Eventhough, homos only make up a little more than 3% of the population. It seems 90% of the posters on getbig are homos or homo sympathizers.
This place needs to get cleaned up of these homos.
-
This is what gays don't get - if they want more people to be accepting and tolerant of them, they cant be melting down every time something like this happens.
-
Maybe if you assclowns read his interview in GQ, you might have a better understanding as to why A&E is going to flush Duck Dynasty down the toilet....here's a hint: it actually has very little to do with gays but more of the refutation of the Christian Values that he so promotes....

Fuck off - this is why most people mock you and those like you.

Lol. This is a site dedicated to the "sport" of men evaluating the physiques of other men wearing thongs. And u want to get rid of "these homos"? Good luck.
No homo.
I was expressing "wishful thinking" on my part.
-
This is going to end up just like Chick a Filet - back firing big time on the intolerant libs
-
Fuck off - this is why most people mock you and those like you.
LOL.
He is so naive.
Even if that were the case, why doesn't he have the freedom to speak about his religious beliefs EVEN IN PUBLIC?
Are homos and libtards really this sensitive to religion? Why are they so sensitive if to them God is a fairy tale?

When liberal people I know ask me why I don't a rats ass about gay issues whatsoever - my answer is "Gays themselves and Liberals" - the most intolerant bigoted group of them all.
They don believe in freedom of speech for others - for them its all about their little pet issues
-
Fuck off - this is why most people mock you and those like you.
Obviously, you didn't read the interview and I've given you a link to it. Quite frankly if you go and compare gays to terrorists and bestiality....along with making the proclamation that blacks were better off before the Civil Rights Movement, you just might have a couple of problems.
Sucks to be on the losing side of America doesn't it, flat earther???? There's no need to argue with you or the rest of you Tea Baggers when you just keep falling flat on your faces with the reality. ;D

Homosexuals are people, and they have rights, and they should have equal rights as any other people.
No Homo.
The problem is many homosexuals don't want equal rights and/or treatment, they demand special rights and special treatment.
The God of the Bible, whether you believe that stuff or not, clearly disapproves of the Homosexual life style. Jesus Christ said marriage is between a man and a woman. So it's perfectly natural for a person who believes that the Bible is the word of God to believe that God disapproves of the Homosexual life style.
I don't understand why liberals and homosexuals freak out about this and call it "hate speech."

The division between the Left america and Conservative america is as deep as its ever been. This can only end in one of two ways.

But by early Thursday morning, more than 19,000 people had signed a change.org petition calling for A&E to bring Robertson back.
http://www.change.org/petitions/a-e-networks-end-the-wrongful-suspension-of-phil-robertson
"Homosexuals have their convictions and Christians respect them," the organizer of the petition wrote. "There is a difference between respecting someone rights to exercise free will and imposing on others what we believe. Phil has done nothing more than state what he believes in. Just because homosexuals do not agree, does not mean Mr. Robertson needs to be suspended."
Similarly, the Facebook page "Bring Back Phil Robertson" had more than 35,000 "likes" by early Thursday morning.
Robertson responded to the brouhaha in a statement late Wednesday.
"I would never treat anyone with disrespect just because they are different from me," he said. "We are all created by the Almighty and like Him, I love all of humanity."
"Duck Dynasty" follows a Louisiana bayou family that has "made a fortune on duck calls," as A&E puts it.
According to A&E, its fourth season premiere in August drew nearly 12 million viewers to become the No. 1 nonfiction series telecast in cable history.

Well said. Completely agree.

Wtf is wrong with living in a tiny house in the woods? Many prefer that instead of the stress in the citys. There is so much people can mock vince for and that was the first thing that came to his mind lol
-
This thread has the lowest pooled IQ of any thread on the interwebs. The fact that she used the word sin (biblical sense) she is a complete and utter fucking moron, I wouldn't listen a word said.
It's also a sin to work on sunday, death is the punishment, does duck dynasty ever come on during the sabbath?
She is a bigot and should be ridiculed for being a stupid piece of shit human.

Amazing to me how many people equate a private business sanctioning an employee for words with "Freedom of Speech" .. I got no problem with a hillbilly spouting off about what a book that says you can beat your male or female slave with a rod as long as you don't kill them because they are your property.. he has a right to his opinion, no matter how flat earth it may be... just as A&E has a right to can him for spouting it..

He was quoting the New Testament, specifically 1 Corinthians.
Tell me, bozo, where in Jesus's teachings or even in the teachings of his apostles that are found in the New Testament do they give those slavery instructions?

Canned already. Don't mess with gays.
Questions about the powerful homosexual lobby aside, I'm curious about one thing: do you believe a private corporation should be allowed to fire employees who are, in a sense, the product, when they express viewpoints that run counter to the "image" that the company wants to project and might, in the estimation of the business executives, cause the company to lose business?

well fuktard, my point is .. Most Christians, Phil including, like to cherry pick verses. Jesus said in Matthew 5:32 "But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery" He goes on to say adulteres go to hell...
Futhermore, the teachings of owning slaves and punishing slaves wasn't done away with in Jesus' time. This is a common practice of christians in denial...pretending that because it was said in the old testament, it doesn't apply with the new. The fact is, at some point in history, their God thought it was a good idea that a woman marry her rapist, and that it was okay to beat a slave short of killing it because "It is your property". No....lets cherry pick things ...

My point is that just about anyone can end up on TV these days: Snooky, Paris Hilton, the Kardhashian "clan", that lady with half a dozen kids, aspiring MMA fighters, obese people, and, apparently, the manufacturers of duck calls.
But I guess when you have 24 hours of air time to fill with "content" you can't be too selective.
-
They represent millions of people, normal middle Americans in their values, hobbies and things that normal non coast dwellers understand. It isn;t the normal reality show.

i have never seen the show... a hunting reality show? they hunt ducks each week?
i dunno what he said, i dont care. just one man's opinion, we all have them, and that's about it.
i hope they eat the ducks they shoot, at least. If I had to pick which one is more disturbing - two dudes that like to kiss other dudes and leave more available females for us straight dudes, or people that shoot a lot of cute ducks minding their own business - I dunno, neither thought is really that interesting to me. but different folks, diff strokes.
Again - SLOW NEWS WEEK. Congress is on vacation, Trey Radel is out of rehab, it's the holiday news dump coming tomorrow! and other than that, everyone is relxing, and we get our annual crap news cycle. Any other time of year, with actual news going on, some dude on some crap tv show having an opinion on an issue wouldn't be the top 4 story on the home page of http://www.foxnews.com/ some 12 hours later. It's still there lol. It's the #8 story on the http://www.msnbc.com/ home page. unreal.

(CNN) -- The family behind A&E's "Duck Dynasty" rallied around its patriarch Thursday, one day after the network suspended Phil Robertson over controversial remarks he made about gays and blacks in a magazine interview.
"While some of Phil's unfiltered comments to the reporter were coarse, his beliefs are grounded in the teachings of the Bible. Phil is a Godly man who follows what the Bible says are the greatest commandments: 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart' and 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' Phil would never incite or encourage hate," the Robertsons said in a statement.
The family called into question the future of the show.
"We are disappointed that Phil has been placed on hiatus for expressing his faith, which is his constitutionally protected right. We have had a successful working relationship with A&E but, as a family, we cannot imagine the show going forward without our patriarch at the helm. We are in discussions with A&E to see what that means for the future of Duck Dynasty," it said.

The fact that this is the highest rated show is more bewildering to me than why there's a hooplah over what the guy said.
No wonder I got rid of TV altogether. Absolute garbage and an overall waste of time.

Their speech is protected by free speech. However they are employees of Disney as well and Disney also has the right to hire and fire them if they see fit.
Again, what got Phil in trouble wasn't his opinion that a man should be with a woman....it was when he compared gays to terrorist and bestiality. The comment about us blacks being happier before having civil rights didn't help neither.
I'm still buying a lot of DD gear as that's what they still want for Christmas, but I think Phil needs to realize that his comments did not reflect the "Christian values" they espouse.
One more thing....I wish people didn't cherry pick the Bible for their own advantage.

I don't watch the show, I don't agree with all of the guy's comments, and I do agree that A&E has the right to suspend him indefinitely or fire him. I also believe Homosexuals have a right to over react if they want to and make all the demands they want to.
However, just as homosexuals are saying there are consequences to the guy's exercise of free speech, personal faith and opinions, there are consequences to homosexual's over reactions and demands too, and to A&E meeting those demands.
I read this is, for whatever reason, the most watched, highest grossing, non-fiction TV show in history. A&E will suffer financially if the show gets canned, but the Duck Dynasty family won't suffer financially. They were happy, successful and wealthy to begin with, and now they are immensely more wealthy than before. And they will find other ways to continue to add to their wealth.
I believe the homosexual community may suffer too for over reacting to one stupid man's comments and personal opinions, and for making demands like that. This show and this family is, for whatever reason, beloved by a giant segment of the US population. This can't be good for homosexuals' popularity and sympathy. If the homosexuals keep crying wolf like they have been, then when the real wolf shows up...well, you know the rest of the story. Homosexuals need to learn to pick their battles better.
No Homo.

Not surprising.. vast majority of Americans are uncomfortable with gays. There would have been somewhat strong support for Phil in the south had he opined that slavery was perfectly fine and beating a male or female slave is cool as long as you don't kill them. I think he would have lost most of his support had he opined that if you divorce and remarry for any reason other than fornication you are going to hell...as I know very few CHristians that haven't been married more than once
-
In 2012 the IRS sent out 4 billion dollars of tax payers money to identity theives and it got way less of an outcry than this.. tells you a little something about us...

Or maybe many of those signatures come from supporters of free speech and/or people sick of so many homosexuals demanding special rights and special treatment. You never know. :-\

Then I would say the supporters of free speech are confused about what the 1st amendment really is

D bringing some reality.

less than 100 yrs ago blacks were treated as almost less than human. Certainly 3rd class citizens. Less than 100 yrs ago women couldn't vote. They had to push and claw to get rights that should have been theirs from the start. Homosexuals as recently as the 70's had to hide their sexuality for fear of being outcast or worse. So I can understand what they are trying to accomplish because we are really too narrow minded and obstinant to see it on our own that they deserve equal treatment and rights. People felt Rosa Parks and MLK were "shoving civil rights" in our faces as well. I think in 50 years our grandchildrens children will look back on these last 30 yrs of gays struggling to be treated equally as we look back on the last 100 for women and minorities.

In 2012 the IRS sent out 4 billion dollars of tax payers money to identity theives and it got way less of an outcry than this.. tells you a little something about us...
Exactly right.

Homosexuals are people, and they have rights, and they should have equal rights as any other people.
No Homo.
The problem is many homosexuals don't want equal rights and/or treatment, they demand special rights and special treatment.
The God of the Bible, whether you believe that stuff or not, clearly disapproves of the Homosexual life style. Jesus Christ said marriage is between a man and a woman. So it's perfectly natural for a person who believes that the Bible is the word of God to believe that God disapproves of the Homosexual life style.
I don't understand why liberals and homosexuals freak out about this and call it "hate speech."

I don't watch the show, I don't agree with all of the guy's comments, and I do agree that A&E has the right to suspend him indefinitely or fire him. I also believe Homosexuals have a right to over react if they want to and make all the demands they want to.
However, just as homosexuals are saying there are consequences to the guy's exercise of free speech, personal faith and opinions, there are consequences to homosexual's over reactions and demands too, and to A&E meeting those demands.
I read this is, for whatever reason, the most watched, highest grossing, non-fiction TV show in history. A&E will suffer financially if the show gets canned, but the Duck Dynasty family won't suffer financially. They were happy, successful and wealthy to begin with, and now they are immensely more wealthy than before. And they will find other ways to continue to add to their wealth.
I believe the homosexual community may suffer too for over reacting to one stupid man's comments and personal opinions, and for making demands like that. This show and this family is, for whatever reason, beloved by a giant segment of the US population. This can't be good for homosexuals' popularity and sympathy. If the homosexuals keep crying wolf like they have been, then when the real wolf shows up...well, you know the rest of the story. Homosexuals need to learn to pick their battles better.
No Homo.
For the most part...he was talking shit and showing a great deal of disrespect and hostility towards gays and blacks....that's not a Christian value. He can get lost as well as the rest of his family

What disrespect did he show to blacks? Again - I know the truth is something da community rarely wants to hear - but he was right - welfare and govt hand outs destroyed blacks in this country.

Can you post the interview and quote him exactly where he is showing hostility towards anyone?

We were better off during the era of Jim Crow?? Shut the fuck up you ignorant ass mother fucker.....what the hell have you been smoking you dumb piece of shit. There is nothing wrong with the black race whatsoever....its just the media focuses more on the dumbest part of the sector...which is why Duck Dynasty, Honey Boo Boo, and Moonshiners are so popular. They put on TV the absolute worst representation of people around
Fucking jackass... ::)

Im not a racist, but on the totem of accomplishments, if we grant it, even hypothetically vince, blacks rank with beothucks in terms of overall accomplishment.

The Great Society was a set of domestic programs in the United States first announced by President Lyndon B. Johnson at Ohio University, then at University of Michigan, and subsequently promoted by him and fellow Democrats in Congress in the 1960s. Two main goals of the Great Society social reforms were the elimination of poverty and racial injustice. New major spending programs that addressed education, medical care, urban problems, and transportation were launched during this period.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Society
Economist Thomas Sowell argues that the Great Society programs only contributed to the destruction of African American families, saying "the black family, which had survived centuries of slavery and discrimination, began rapidly disintegrating in the liberal welfare state that subsidized unwed pregnancy and changed welfare from an emergency rescue to a way of life."

Their speech is protected by free speech. However they are employees of Disney as well and Disney also has the right to hire and fire them if they see fit.
Again, what got Phil in trouble wasn't his opinion that a man should be with a woman....it was when he compared gays to terrorist and bestiality. The comment about us blacks being happier before having civil rights didn't help neither.
I'm still buying a lot of DD gear as that's what they still want for Christmas, but I think Phil needs to realize that his comments did not reflect the "Christian values" they espouse.
One more thing....I wish people didn't cherry pick the Bible for their own advantage.
You mean the part about Sodom and Gomorrah? You mustn't have read that one.
-
You mean the part about Sodom and Gomorrah?
Yeah. Or the parts where Jesus says the mustard seed is the smallest seed yet grows into a tree and the moon is an independent source of light? That stuff was all pretty fucking funny.

Please don't try to spin this.
Well that was certainly open to interpretation.
No spin. I wasn't in Bashir's head so I can't say for certain what he meant,
However, as an articulate, and eloquent wordsmith, his comment is open to interpretation.

When are you guys going to figure this game out?
It is a massive distractionary tempest in a tea pot.
Look away, look for the real story, ...and it ain't duck dynasty.
A&E played this one superbly...
Oh the horror, the shock, the feigned outrage, ...and the immediate indefinite suspension.
Meanwhile, ...they've already got 75-80% of the new season already in the can.
They're not losing a darn thing. The advertisers are still there, they have content to air, ...and now they've got a great big controversy with which to garner an even larger audience.
And not just ANY controversy, ...a few historically divisive controversies all rolled up into one.
It's pits preachy evangelical types, who can't keep their mouths shut about their particular interpretation of Christianity, and how they feel they should be governing YOUR life, ...against secularists.
It pits gays against heterosexuals, blacks against whites, 1st Amendment against reality, ...and a slew of others...and while everyone is arguing and distracted by a unsophisticated, inarticulate, country bumpkin with a ZZTop beard to rival any Ayatollah's ... guess who's been fast tracking an updated version of the NDAA. And this latest version has even far more sinister implications than the last one signed into law :D

[…] 1st Amendment against reality […]
Huh? How is the 1st Amendment involved with this in any way, shape or form?
